Tyler keeps a rollin...all night long.
“Why should ANY BODY “hang it up?...who are you to judge a dude that has performed and lived the Rock n Roll life?...get back to your 9 ta 5 or were you shit canned because of age?”
Wow. I guess you’re not on my Christmas Card List anymore.
*SMIRK*
That seems to be a theme all around these days…LOL.
Aerosmith was a fun band. But you are right. It’s time.
My wife keeps asking me if I want to go see these old acts. After a couple of concerts you learn that most of them can still play. They can’t sing any more.
I am happier with my memories of them, rather than making new bad memories.
It was Clint who made a movie at 86 who taught us “Don’t let the old man in”
Clint (and Gibbs) are the exception to every rule. :)
I only ever saw them once, probably 1973 or 74, when they were first on a bill, ahead of Gentle Giant and Golden Earring, if this old mind remembers right. It was the first of hundreds of concerts I photographed, with my mom’s rangefinder camera, but I can’t find the negatives anymore.
We are the old, we've got arthritis,
Our gums are weak (so weak), from gingivitis.
We are the old, we've got arthritis,
Wi are the ones who wear fifocals, and have bursitis.
There are people, younger, but we heed another call,
We really need the money, our accountants took it all,
We sing to you, those who have money,
Once we were cool, but now we just dress funny.
We need your help, so please please dig deep,
Don't call after ten, 'caus we'll be asleep.
We have medicare, and anti-gas pills,
But without your help, we can't pay our alimony bills.
We are the old, (the are the old),
We have arthritis ( they have arthritis),
Once vwe were gods, now golf exites us (golf exite'em).
So write a check (a really bg one), for our December,
There's one more verse, but we can't remember...
